What is Pickled Watermelon Rind?
Pickled watermelon rind makes great use of what many of us simply throw away, which are the rinds left over after we eat pink or yellow watermelon fruit. Though many identify this savory treat with American Southern cuisine, recipes for this unusual pickle exist in many cultures. In particular much of Eastern Europe and Asia have recipes for pickled watermelon rind. In the US though, we are more likely to think of this dish as Southern food.
